Brand building is often misunderstood by many people who are just appearing on the online marketing scene. They don’t realize that it now has to be an integral part of their online marketing business or no one will find them.

The idea of brand building is not new, however.  You must be familiar with big companies such as Pepsi, McDonald, Coca Cola, etc.  All of these companies have built a brand around their product and service and it works to increase sales and have consumer stick-ability.

Branding yourself for your target market is the smart beginner’s first step to success.

The old model of brand building has been largely controlled by the technology available at the time . When communication was by paper, we had pictures that conveyed the slogan and message.  This gave rise to the jingle when it went to radio, and then evolved into commercials with the advent of television.

This old model did not allow for audience interaction.  All you could do was not read the copy, turn your radio off or look away from the screen.  Such a branding process left the power of brand building largely in the hands of the originators. The company created its advertising, and people responded to it. 

But thanks to changing times, this is no longer the case.
